Exergy Analysis of a Molten Carbonate Fuel Cell-Turbo Expander-Steam Turbine Hybrid Cycle

Exergy analysis of an integrated molten carbonate fuel cell-turbo expander-steam turbine hybrid cycle has been presented in this study. The proposed cycle has been used as a sustainable energy approach to provide a micro hybrid power plant with high exergy efficiency. To generate electricity by the mentioned system, an externally reformed molten carbonate fuel cell located upstream of the combi...

Electromechanical aspects of a micro-CHP system

Solutions Efficient operation of the gas turbine imposes the demand for very high rotational speed of the generator 240,000 rpm. The permanent magnet machine has been chosen as the generator type since this technology is the most promising for high-speed machines: it offers high efficiency and very high power density at low volumes. A high-frequency power converter is required to enable bi-dire...

Combined-cycle solarised gas turbine with steam, organic and CO2 bottoming cycles

Dish concentrators permit the collection of very high-temperature heat, at temperatures limited only by the properties of the containment vessel material. Using this heat efficiently is a major challenge in the design of energy conversion systems for dish concentrators: the heat must be used either immediately on the dish, or else transported, with losses, to a remote energy conversion device. ...
